Jobs for Felons - 10 Types Of People To Get Out Of Your Life

I work with people with criminal records who want to get jobs and turn their lives around. I tell them that there are three things they must change to put their pasts behind them. The have to change the places they go, change the things they do and most importantly change the people they spend time with.

No matter how hard you work to get your life in order, certain types of people will drain energy from you and in the end will ruin all of your efforts. If you want to give yourself the best opportunity for success, you must remove these types of people from your life:

1. Haters

These people are never happy for anyone - including YOU! They never encourage anyone or happy about anyone else's success. They may be your friend, but they will not be happy if you are successful. In fact they will probably have something negative to say or devalue whatever you accomplish.

2. Manipulators

Manipulators are very sneaky. They pretend to be friends. They may know a lot about you and use what they know to get you to do what they want.

3. Unreliable People

These people never show up on time, never do what they say they will do and know matter how many favors you have done for them, always have an excuse when you need a favor from them.

4. People who love to Argue

These people will argue with anyone, anywhere, about anything. They don't even have to know what they are talking about, they will argue. It you say something is up, they will say its down. These people will drain your energy and bring you down every time.

5. Gossips

These people talk about other people all of time. They can't help themselves. They will even try to involve you in their gossiping. Because they can't help themselves, they will also talk about you, when you aren't around.

6. Time Wasters

These people usually have no goals and very little going for them so they have no sense of time. Because they have no sense of time, they have no problem with wasting yours. They may try to have you join them playing video games or talking about thing that really have no value. When you look up, you have wasted valuable time that you could have devoted to doing something positive.

7. Drama Queens and Kings

These people always bring drama wherever they go. They always have some type of negativity going on at all times. They do not get along with others and have often start the nonsense. Be careful you might one day become part of the drama.

8. Naysayers

These are people who are constantly tell you what cannot be done. They will always tell you why you shouldn't do something rather than the good things that could happen. If you let them, they will attempt to crush your dreams and goals.

9. Victims

These people constantly talk about what life has done to them or how someone has done them wrong. They never talk about what they are doing to make the situation better. They just complain and wallow in self-pity.

10. Dishonest People

These are the people who lie, cheat and steal on a regular basis. Dishonest people always will have trouble because they are not to be trusted. Who wants to be around people that cannot trust?

If you are trying to build a new life for yourself, eliminate these people. The more time you spend with them, their habits and attitude will slowly rub off on you.

You deserve to have positive, supportive and loving people in your life. Getting rid of some people is addition by subtraction. In fact, life is too short to spend time with people who do not want you to succeed or help you to be better. Not everyone in your life is meant to stay there.
